How interested is the Russian government in helping Donald Trump rise to political power? Apparently, quite a lot.
In June 2015, freelance journalist Adrian Chen wrote a lengthy and explosive piece for New York Times Magazine detailing the efforts of Russia’s troll factories that flood the internet with disinformation. Then, in December, when Chen was interviewed by Max Linsky of Longform, he asserted, “A very interesting thing happened. I created this list of Russian trolls when I was researching. And I check on it once in a while, still. And a lot of them have turned into conservative accounts, like fake conservatives. I don’t know what’s going on, but they’re all tweeting about Donald Trump and stuff.”
